You wake up to the bloodiest mess this side of Barbie Town (if such a godless place should even exist).

First you find the corpse of Donut, which appeared to have been stabbed to death, but not before he took his last opportunity to shove Acionyx full of Footballs, both the World Cup kind and the Strange American kind.

Finally, you see PE shot multiple times in the abdomen, with only the word "Why?" written in blood next to his cold misshapen body.

Beruru, with a smoking gun in her plastic hand, steps out of the shadows. "It's over," she whispers coolly. "I think it's finally over."

Stiq merely hides behind the couch, hoping she's right.

Mirdini and Paranoia finally step forward. "Yes it is over." They both say in the most disquieting unison. "It's over... for you." They both pull out the witchiest of clothes and wands and broomsticks, turn the remaining two townies into toads, and fly off cackling in to the moonlight.

Donut the DOB died and took Acionyx down with him. PE also turned up deader than a doornail.

With the witches equal to the town and with the town having no way to effectively take back the lynch vote, the witches win.

Conclusion:
Even though things went horribly wrong and I myself made a few mistakes (nothing that broke or would have changed the game in the long run, thankfully), I had a good deal of fun running this. Watching things unfold in the background is just absolutely priceless. Feel free to let me know if I made any egregious errors so I can feel shame for the end of time.

this game did not explicitly include a clause about "play to your win condition" but it is generally agreed upon that it is bad form to sabotage your own team. This kind of thing will sufficiently annoy everyone enough that doing it persistently is going to get people pre-emptively banning you from games. I was completely okay with it up to the point that instead of actually doing something you decided to waste everyone's time with a bunch of obviously fake claims and then do nothing.

I feel like Beruvig shooting you was kind of a throw personally but I don't blame her at all.

Honestly town might have done better if eido hadn't been lynched day two since it might have given more time for non bussing interactions to happen

It was kind of a thing I was thinking thoughout day three and onward but the game felt really bleah once eido was done and the priest was gone probably because it immediately reduced the possible interactions left in the game

I think priestclaims day two with lumpwhatever plans are probably not ideal unless the priest is sure he's going to die otherwise

To be fair I had the worst role reads (hate hunts, etc.) and that's what I was talking about - I was convinced pE was the acolyte for about a million years from that early "I think MV and speedchuck are town NO REASON" and even overruled Para on him actually being Leeroy.

At least I didn't decide to press my luck there and went with the Donut DoB read instead. MV not claiming Clown seriously screwed up reads as well to be fair. In total I had like... 4 town roles that weren't confirmed nailed down out of 8? Walp.

The whole game I kept telling myself that it was suspicious that Dini had such a low post count and was going with the flow after easy lynches. But then I reminded myself that he did that "Speedchuck is the Priest, I'm certain, let's do stupid Judge things with Acio" play and I assumed he knew Speedchuck was Priest because he was Aco... forgetting the possibility that he knew Eido was Scum because he was Scum too. *facepalm*

EDIT: I'm reading the mafia QT and damn, I was right about them thinking donut was aco.
